GYPSIES AS HORSE TRADERS.
Every Man, Woman aud Child u Master
of Horse Lore and Horsemanshin

- .AoAsc A<OTc anu hOFseHn6nSn1D.
But the main dependence of American gyp.
sizes is upon horse trading and dealing. Every
gypsy man, woman and child is master of
horse lore and horse care, and of horseman-
ship. A lad of IL, OF lass of Is, is trader. a
jockey and veterinarian. A large number
OF animals besides those in actual use always
accompany the band. These are traded,
sold, or their numbers added to-. at a mo.
menus notice. Of the keenness, cunning ami
wonderful proficiency of this race in horse
care, trading and dealing, could relate in
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. But it is an interesting
general fact in this regard, that gypsies are
gradually taking the place OF all others as
mddlemen between the farmers of our coun-
try and our final markets. Nearly all the
draft horses used in our large cities are gath
cred together by gypsies from farmers in
straights for money, cared for little time
got into excellent form and training, and then
sent to the city dealers, who, supposed to be-
long to other races, are gypsies themselves.
Not only is the famous Tattelsall, of London
who furnishes nearly oil the nobility of Eng
land with thoroughbred studs, q gypsy, but
three of the largest horse markets in this
country, in Boston, New York and Washing,
ton, are owned and conducted by gypsies,
while in the smaller cities Of tho country
these patient, quiet people arc gradually Sc
curing property with livery and salo stables
attached, to which the thousands upon thou,
sands of animals secured during tho summer
wanderings arc shipped. Every one of these
animals Is purchased for the lowest and sold
at the highest possible price Tho gypsy is
welcomed by the farmer; for the farmer al
ways needs, and the gypsy always has,
money; while the city purchaser is becoming
moro and moro used to relying on gypsy se-
lected animals. For while in jockeying
tourney tho gypsy will perform some marvel
GUS swindles, in Legitimate purchases and sales
his word and guarantee are sacred and invio-
liable.
In will thus be seen that American gypsies
must stand in new light to all those who
would give them thought. While ever the
most interesting of all races that have come.
or can come, among us; while by tradition
and heritage they will ever remain the only
romantic groupings in tho heyday of our
American life; while they will ever weave
into our countrysides a weird charm and fas-
cination, out of which shall some day come
true, pleasant and tender tales, mixed with
a dash of their own quaint coloring, they are
still a people who must take place, as they
have already secured possessions, and no lit
tie kindly race recognition among us.-Edgar

THE BARE FACTS ABOUT FARMER
ARMSTRONG.

We made mention of Mr.. Frank
Armstrong, of Dodge Township, last
week, as the winner of 5000 in the
Louisiana State Lottery. The cash
was received by Mr.. Truman, banker,
here on last Friday in full. 1t was
one-twentieth part of the second capt.
tai prize ($lO0 O00) which was drawn
by ticket No. 2l,658, for which TWEEN
tieth part Mr.. Armstrong had paid one
dollar about month ago. AS stated
before, MIR. Armstrong is substantial
farmer OF about 80 years, has raised
family in Union county, nearly all the
members OF which are scattered away
"doing for themselves" and as he lost
his wife few years ago he is unmar-
ried. On his fine farm of $40 acres
there was mortgage of about $1,000,
which, if not already, will soon be
paid. He will give $4,000 of the
money to his son Harvey (who also
had ticket bought by his father at
the same time as the lucky one, which
proved blank), and together they
will stock the farm most abundantly.
Mr.. Armstrong has not been :" lot
terry gambler" In 1885 he sent few
dollars-one month for few months
to New Orleans. At the first of the
year he commenced, calculating to
spend dollar month during the
season, "for luck" Fortune is a
tickle goddess" and while she passed
by thousands, smiled on Farmer Arm
strong.-AJ1on (Iowa) Tribune, July 6.

of the throne were two lions couchsnt, bear
ing red banners with cross keys. The new
cardinals then entered and, bowiug thrice,
kissed the Pope's foot and hand, received
the double embrace and then retired. They
again advanced to receive the hat, which
was brought in on silver salver Each
Cardinal knet as he came before the Pope
and hood of the robe was placed over his
head by an attendant. Then the Pope,
taking the large red hat, placed it on the
kneeliogC ardinal saying: TO the praise ofthe

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL

The week hiss been devoid of anything of par
ticular interest financially or commercially. The
continued unfavorable weather still interferes
with the opening OF the spring trade and until
there is change for the better the prevailing
dizziness will most probably continue. After a
favorable change in the weather, the chances are
that trade will once more become brisk. The la
Dor troubles are at end so far as any interior
ence with business 10 concerned, and manufactur-
ing industries actively employed in supplying
regular demands for their products Money mat
tiers are very quiet Government bonds are dull.
1t is expected that call for S10,O00,000 per
